He was down for breakfast very early.
It was another rainy day - which meant he could not go down to the stables.
Bartby would have to go without seeing him for a day, he mused.
When he arrived at the dining hall, there was no one there.
Even Everetta?
Perhaps she was late?
He took his seat and waited.
After nearly thirty minutes, he was certain no one was coming.
Friedrich wasn't coming? Why was he missing meals all of a sudden?
And Everetta had a habit of never missing meals…
He signalled for the servants to serve the meal.
Till he finished his meal, no one arrived.
Why did he even care? It wasn't as if he hadn't been dining alone long before now…
Why the sudden need to have company?
Perhaps she was still avoiding him. What did it even matter?
He wiped his mouth with his napkin and left for the library. A good book always helped pass time, he mused.
